  • MTC may be taken as an example to describe the principle of the present disclosure; however, it is noted that the wireless communication methods disclosed in the present disclosure can not only be applied to MTC, but also be applied to other wireless communications such as other communications conforming to LTE specifications as long as those wireless communications may require coverage enhancement (CE) . Accordingly, the UEs are not limited to MTC UEs, but can be any other UEs that can perform the communication methods described in the present disclosure.
  • repetitions of a channel to be transmitted can be a basic solution to enhance the coverage.
  • the DCI Downlink Control Information
  • the DCI may need to indicate resource assignment in both time and frequency domain. How to design DCI with relatively small size to for example assign resources for such a channel with coverage enhancement becomes an important issue of the wireless communication with coverage enhancement.
  • DCI size is quite important as it heavily impacts active time of the UE.
  • Active time means the period that the UE’s RF/baseband is keeping working status to transmit or receive physical signals. It reflects the UE’s power consumption and is mainly related with repetitions in time domain. Smaller DCI size can mean that the UE will use less time to receive the DCI.
  • each repetition of a small DCI is transmitted by one ECCE (Enhanced Control Channel Element, 36 REs (Resource Element) per ECCE) , QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) , 1/3 coding rate and full occupation of narrowband (6 PRBs) are used, and total repetition times are 96, then the UE only needs 4 subframes to receive such DCI.
  • ECCE Enhanced Control Channel Element, 36 REs (Resource Element) per ECCE
  • QPSK Quadrature Phase Shift Keying
  • 1/3 coding rate and full occupation of narrowband (6 PRBs)
  • one ECCE can only carry 24 bits, which also means it can only support 8-bit payload size assuming CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) uses 16 bits. So DCI payload size requirement is quite tight assuming less resource like 1 ECCE to transmit DCI. One bit or 2 bit increase will require more ECCEs for DCI transmission.
  • An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wireless communication method 100 performed by an eNB, as shown in Fig. 1 which schematically illustrates a flowchart of the wireless communication method 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • the wireless communication method 100 can comprise a step 101 of transmitting DCI to a UE, wherein the DCI is designed based on a coverage enhancement level for the UE.
  • the DCI can be designed based on the coverage enhancement level for the UE. It is noted that, if any field (for example, a resource assignment field) in the DCI is designed based on the coverage enhancement level, the DCI is considered to be designed based on the coverage enhancement level. For example, as described later in detail, a resource assignment field in DCI contains an index associated with the coverage enhancement level, and thus such a DCI is considered to be designed based on the coverage enhancement level.
  • the DCI can use different sizes for different sets of coverage enhancement levels.
  • the coverage enhancement levels can be divided into two sets by comparing the coverage enhancement levels with a predetermined level. If a coverage enhancement level is larger than the predetermined level, the coverage enhancement level is considered to be a large coverage enhancement level and is assigned to a large CE level set. If a coverage enhancement level is smaller than the predetermined level, the coverage enhancement level is considered to be a small coverage enhancement level and is assigned to a small CE level set.
  • the coverage enhancement level of a UE can be configured by the RRC layer, and the predetermined level can be specified or configured by the RRC layer.
  • a payload size of 26 bits for the DCI can be used; and for a large coverage enhancement level, a payload size of 11 bits for the DCI can be used.
  • Table 1 indicates that two different DCIs (DCI 1 and DCI 2) are designed for small coverage enhancement levels and large coverage enhancement levels respectively.
  • DCI 2 for large CE level has much smaller size since many features like SRS request are not required.
  • Table 2 indicates that a common DCI is designed for both small coverage enhancement levels and large coverage enhancement levels, but the field interpretation is different among different CE levels.
  • the DCI for the large coverage enhancement levels can use much less bits.
  • the small coverage enhancement level herein also comprises the case of no coverage enhancement.
  • the coverage enhancement of a channel (e.g., PDSCH or PUSCH) scheduled by the DCI with the coverage enhancement level can be realized at least by repetitions in time domain and/or repetitions in frequency domain with a repetition number which represents the total number of repetitions of the channel, and a resource assignment field in the DCI uses a single index associated with the repetition number to jointly indicate resource assignment in both time domain and frequency domain.
  • This embodiment is another exemplary way of designing the DCI based on the coverage enhancement level for the UE.
  • the repetition can happen in time domain, for example, multiple subframes can be used to transmit a transport block repeatedly.
  • the repetition can also happen in frequency domain, for example, multiple PRBs in frequency domain are used to transport a transport block.
  • Aggregation in frequency domain is a way of repetitions in frequency domain.
  • the repetition can also happen in both time domain and frequency domain.
  • the DCI scheduling a channel (e.g. PUSCH or PDCCH) requiring coverage enhancement may need to indicate resource assignment in both time domain and frequency domain.
  • the resource assignment can be indicated in a resource assignment field.
  • the resource assignment field may need to indicate how many subframes and how many PRBs in frequency domain are used for repetition.
  • the resource assignment field may also need to indicate the resource positions in frequency domain.
  • the total number of repetitions can be the product of the subframe number in time domain and the PRB number in frequency domain in unit of PRB pair.
  • 100 repetitions (PRB pairs) can be reflected by 2 PRB x 50 subframes, that is, the repetition number is 100.
  • the repetition number can also be in unit of PRB.
  • 200 repetitions (PRBs) can be reflected by 2 PRB x 100 slots (50 subframes) .
  • the unit of PRB pair is used to present the repetition number.
  • resource assignment field design is separate indications for time domain and frequency domain. For example, one field is used to indicate the number of subframes in time domain and another field is used to indicate the number and/or positions of PRBs in frequency domain for example within the narrowband (6 PRBs) . Table 3 illustrates one example of such separate indications.
  • Table 4 illustrates another example of separate indications, in which the resource position (s) in frequency domain is indicated.
  • a joint indication of resource assignment is proposed, that is, a resource assignment field in the DCI uses a single index associated with the repetition number to jointly indicate resource assignment in both time domain and frequency domain. It is noted that one repetition number can correspond to one or more indexes to represent one or more specific resource assignment ways for the one repetition number. Joint indication may reduce the field size for resource assignment. For example, in the example of Table 3, if two more repetition possibilities (for example, 6 and 8 repetitions) are added in time domain, then there needs 3 bits to indicate 5 possibilities (1, 2, 4, 6 and 8) . Therefore, totally 6 bits (3 bits for time domain and 3 bits for frequency domain) are needed if the separation indication approach is used.
  • transport block size can also be determined by the index associated with the repetition number in the resource assignment field. For example, a smaller repetition number can indicate smaller transport block size, and a larger repetition number can indicate larger transport block size.
  • the same number of repetitions in time domain is used for one and the same value of the repetition number.
  • only one combination of repetition number in time domain and repetition number (number of PRBs) in frequency domain is used for one repetition number.
  • the repetition number is 8
  • the resource assignment may be 2 PRBs in time domain x 4 subframes in time domain (simplified as 2 PRBs x 4 subframes) or 4 PRBs x 2 subframe.
  • the repetition number of 8 only one possibility of repetition number in time domain can be used and the UE knows it in advance.
  • the repetition number in time domain can be either 4 subframes or 2 subframes, and accordingly the repetition number in frequency domain can be either 2 PRBs or 4 PRBs.
  • the selection of repetition number in time domain or frequency domain for each repetition number can be for example configured by the RRC layer or specified in the standard. Therefore, when the UE receives an index corresponding to the repetition number, it can determine the repetition number in time domain and the repetition number in frequency domain. In this way, the size of the resource assignment filed can be reduced since only one combination of repetition number in time domain and repetition number in frequency domain needs to be indicated for one repetition number.
  • Table 5 illustrates a specific example of the embodiment that each repetition number only has one combination of repetition number in time domain and repetition number in frequency domain in the context of Table 3.
  • each repetition number only has one combination of repetition number in time domain and repetition number in frequency domain; therefore, only 3 bits are needed for the resource assignment field, which saves 2 bits compared with the approach show in Table 3.
  • Table 6 illustrates another specific example of the embodiment that each repetition number only has one combination of repetition number in time domain and repetition number in frequency domain in the context of Table 4.
  • each repetition number only has one combination of repetition number in time domain and repetition number in frequency domain; therefore, only 5 bits are needed for the resource assignment field, which saves 2 bits compared with the approach show in Table 4.
  • each repetition number has only one combination of repetition number in time domain and repetition number in frequency domain base on the reason that there is almost no performance difference between different combinations of repetition number in time domain and repetition number in frequency domain. For example, there is almost no performance difference between 2 PRBs x 4 subframes and 4 PRB x 2 subframe for resource assignment.
  • frequency hopping is disabled within “multiple subframes” to realize symbol-level combining based on current 3GPP agreements (refer to “Draft Report of 3GPP TSG RAN WG1 #80 v0.2.0” ) .
  • the resources should keep the same position in frequency domain within “multiple subframes” .
  • the value of “multiple subframes” can be 4.
  • each repetition number has only one combination of repetition number in time domain and repetition number in frequency domain can reduce the field size of resource assignment while remaining the performance almost unchanged.
  • the least possible repetitions in time domain can be assigned for one and the same value of the repetition number.
  • repetitions in time domain should be used as less as possible to reduce the UE’s active time and thus reduce the UE’s power consumption.
  • the UE’s active time is related to repetition number in time domain. The smaller the repetition number in time domain is, the less the UE’s active time is. For example, for the total repetition number of 8, the resource assignment of “4 PRBs x 2 subframes” should be used assuming narrowband of total 6 PRBs in frequency domain according to the embodiment since repetitions of 2 subframes in time domain are the least possible repetitions and the UE’s active time is the least in this case.
  • “2 PRBs x 4 subframes” has more repetitions in time domain but less repetitions in frequency domain
  • “4 PRBs x 2 subframes” has more repetitions in frequency domain but less repetitions in time domain. Therefore, the UE’s active time caused by receptions is larger in the case of “2 PRBs x 4 subframes” than in the case of “4 PRBs x 2 subframes” .
  • the UE keeps active for 4 subframes in case of “2 PRBs x 4 subframes” but only needs to keep active for 2 subframes in case of “4 PRBs x 2 subframes” .
  • the embodiment can be applied to Table 5 and Table 6.
  • only a proper subset of all possible resource positions in frequency domain are considered as frequency position candidates of the resource assignment for at least one value of the repetition number.
  • only limited resource candidates are kept in frequency domain since there is no much scheduling gain within narrowband. In this way, the size of the resource assignment field can be further reduced.
  • Table 7 is an example of limited resource candidates in frequency domain in context of Table 6.
  • the set of resource candidates (i.e., proper subset of all possible resource positions) can be configured by the RRC layer or determined based on ID of the UE.
  • the above embodiments can be used to any uplink channel (e.g. PUSCH) or downlink channel (e.g. PDSCH) for any enhancement level or repetition number.
  • the above embodiments are used to a downlink channel for a small enhancement level or repetition number.
  • Whether the coverage enhancement level is large or small can be determined by comparing it with a predetermined level.
  • the predetermined level can be configured by the RRC layer or specified.
  • the coverage enhancement level can also be configured by the RRC layer. It is noted that the above coverage enhancement level also comprises the case of no enhancement, and the repetition number also comprises the case of no repetition. For example, the first lines in Tables 3-7 represent no repetition.
  • the coverage enhancement level is larger than a predetermined level and the channel scheduled by the DCI is a downlink channel, all possible resources in frequency domain are assigned in the resource assignment.
  • the coverage enhancement level is large, full occupation of the resources (for example 6 PRBs of narrowband) in frequency domain can be used in a downlink channel in order to reduce the UE’s active time.
  • Table 8 illustrates an example of full occupation of frequency resources.
  • the coverage enhancement level is larger than a predetermined level and the channel scheduled by the DCI is an uplink channel
  • only one resource in frequency domain is assigned in the resource assignment.
  • 1 PRB transmission in frequency domain can realize the largest power spectral density (PSD) in uplink.
  • the one resource in frequency domain can be configured by the RRC layer or based on ID of the UE.
  • limited resource candidates in frequency domain can be configured for the resource assignment of the one resource. Table 7 illustrates an example of 1 PRB transmission combined with limited resource candidates in frequency domain.
  • 1 PRB transmission and 3 resource candidates in frequency domain are used in the uplink for each large repetition number. In other words, only repetitions in time domain have multiple options, for example 8, 20, 40, 100 and so on.
  • the field size for resource assignment is reduced from 6 bits to 5 bits. It is note that the set of resource candidates ⁇ x, y, z ⁇ can be configured by the RRC layer or determined based on ID of the UE.
  • the resource assignment field can be interpreted based on whether the coverage enhancement level is large or small.
  • different sets of coverage enhancement levels can use different designs of the resource assignment field.
  • the interpretation of the resource assignment field can use any of Tables 5-7; for a large coverage level, the interpretation of the resource assignment field can use Table 8 for downlink and Table 9 for uplink.
  • the UE knows the coverage enhancement level in advance in order to determine which table should be used. For example, the UE can know the information by RRC configuration.
  • all possible repetition numbers should be covered in one table in case the UE does not know the coverage enhancement level for example during system information block (SIB) acquisition or random access period as it is common information that should be used for all UEs.
  • SIB system information block
  • Table 10 illustrates an exemplary table that contains all possible repetition numbers (from 1 repetition in time domain to 1000 repetitions in time domain) . Therefore, the UE can interpret the resource assignment field even if it does not know the coverage enhancement level.
  • Table 10 the field size for resource assignment is reduced from 6 bits to 5 bits compared with the separate indication approach.
